Welcome, indeed, to Wendell and a wa-a-ay better attitude on DBR. Yay!!

Wendell is likely a fringe OAD. He's currently ranked #22 in the RSCI, and he sounds like a bit of a tweener between SG and SF from what little I know, unless he has a killer jumpshot (which I haven't heard).

I've stayed off this thread, other than to pop in from time to time, because I have sort of dreaded the inevitable transitions...from OAD to more normal development....and from K to, well, whoever, whenever. I really do not like the OAD, never have, but we were potentially facing down a very rough transition. This development might help smooth that out.

Don't waste your time on House of Cards S6!-We found out Frank was critical to making anyone else in the show interesting...not a surprise...

Wendell sounds like the perfect recruit - just under the level of a OAD so you’ll have him for more than a year, yet talented enough to make an impact even in his first year. We’ll need scorers around him but he’ll be an excellent foundational piece of the team moving forward. And he loves Duke!

I think this kid is a great fit for the Duke family. Talented, smart, humble, hardworking... in other words, a Blue Devil.

Wendell had went backstage to put on his school choice's gear. At the 30 second mark of the video, Wendell walks back on stage in Duke gear, and the crowd explodes in cheers and applause. (There had been people in the crowd cheering for "red" / NCSU. But nope, Duke blue.)
